Look up disconnecting iMessage from your number. If you don't, group messages from iPhone users will fail. That's the big thing that trips people up.

Have they announced a price for the LG V20 yet? Given that the price of the HTC S&M is going to be near Samsung territory, I want to know if I should bother, or just wait for a sale on a S7/Edge. The dust resistance is actually relevant to my job.

I love it when all the Americans in this thread complain about how bad contactless is. I walk into almost any retailer in the UK and touch my phone on the card reader for half a second and it works. Don't have to unlock the phone, no entering PINs, no delays. Sorry that you live in a terrible country.

Pretty sure he was talking about the lack of PIN or fingerprint or what have you, so if someone stole his phone they could go on a shopping spree.

To be fair, when one's country votes en masse that it's totally cool with the idea of isolationism, and nullifying a decades long, international economic agreement that had generally been in their favour, you grasp whatever straws you can to feel good. See: Canadian envy of even American internet/phone plans, while holding high their healthcare system.

The most annoying thing in Australia is that random pos terminals have NFC disabled for either amex or android pay for no reason. drat you Woolworths, Coles accepts my AP using my Amex, why won't you? You accept the amex...?

The vast majority of places I've been to in the USA don't use tap or chip. I get really uneasy and it's really weird when for every meal out the server takes my card away to swipe rather than bring a chip terminal to me, or if I'm picking up a drink and can't tap my card. You guys are waaaaaay behind a lot of places I've been to. Funny enough, one of the most modern places I've seen for tap/chip payment was New Zealand.

In my area, it seems like most chip readers are disabled, and pretty much no one has NFC.  The chip readers that are enabled are finicky as poo poo. I usually have to run it twice because of some sort of error. That and my bank can't get it's poo poo together and work out how my chip card should work because it's a completely different process every week when I buy groceries. I think this all boils down to America being behind the times, but it certainly sucks.

Well, the security is up to the phone in that case. You can set a pin, fingerprint, password, pattern lock or whatever and remotely erase it if it's stolen.

Any worthwhile phone payment will force a security measure of some sort. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't be using it and should strongly question using that manufacturer's phones.

I seem to recall 2 years ago wanting to get the newest Sony Xperia phone for some reason, at the suggestion of some goons on here. I ended up grabbing a refurbished phone for a while instead. Is the newest Xperia any good? Or is there supposed to be one coming out in several months? Or is it poo poo now? Thinking I should upgrade to an actual new phone sometime in the next half year or so and just trying to figure out what the gently caress to get.

I went from a Z1 to my current Z5 and they're wonderful, albeit almost identical devices. I love the waterproofing and camera, the battery life is generally good, and I like my green phone colour. ymmv, of course

I'm in the process of updating my Nexus 5X to 7.0 OTA and I just noticed the first time it went to reboot after unpacking it has the Android robot and says Error. Should I be worried? About 10 seconds after that it continued doing its thing. EDIT: Once it rebooted it still seems to be on 6.0.1, guess I just try again? EDIT 2: Tells me to just try again but apparently it needs to download the 1.1 Gb update again, sigh... Red_Fred fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Sep 8, 2016 |

It was great nonetheless to be able to use contactless even with my American card here until I got setup with a UK bank account.

I'm actually pretty excited about the Pixel idea, if it's true that Google brought back Osterloh to run head up Pixel phones next year and beyond and that Google's going to be doing the design, rather than the manufacturer. The original Moto X was the best phone I ever had, and I'd like to see more stuff like it.

I think people in places where contactless cards are commonplace are just a lot more comfortable with the concept. Sure if you lose the phone/card you could get ripped off by small amounts at a time but the bank is just going to refund you anyway.

Since we're on the subject - when using Android Pay (in the UK) for payments over £30, do you have to unlock before you try to pay? If you try and pay without unlocking, will it fail, or will it prompt you for your PIN/fingerprint then? I've only used it for <£30 payments so far.

All Australian airlines have banned the Note 7 and it may have burned down a house in SC. Seriously people, get rid of these things. Buy a cheap sub $100 phone on Amazon or swappa to get you through until you get a replacement. But I would stop using them if your have them and return them
